set college football apart from other sporting venues, and they're what make fall Saturdays on college campuses unique and memorable. To be sure, longstanding NFL rivalries - Bears vs Packers, Giants vs Eagles, Redskins vs. Cowboys, etc. - may have some of the tradition component (small portion), however, the pro-game, imo, is truly lacking in the other areas listed. I must admit, though, they excel in the marketing of their product.
Music is a strength and feature that would be greatly missed and the college game's uniqueness would be diminished, if it were suddenly absent from a Saturday contest. The college songs and marches play an instrumental role (no pun intended) and make fall games on college campuses across this nation special.
Minnesota has several music pieces that are ear-catching. Which of the following is your favorite music selection?
Go Gopher Victory
Minnesota Fight
Our Minnesota
Minnesota Rouser
Minnesota March
Hail! Minnesota
I've always liked the Minnesota Rouser, ever since I was a small boy and I first started following the Gophers (nearly sixty years ago); however, the musical piece that I've come to enjoy more and more through the years and is my choice in this survey is the Minnesota March. It certainly didn't hurt to have an accomplished March specialist, John Phillip Sousa, compose the musical piece.
Go Gophers!!
